Re: Conqueror - British oob
#401 Abbot:
According to AFV/Weapons Profile 51 on Abbot, it carried 40 rounds in total, including 34 HE and 6 HESH (currently it has 40+4). They also say, that the first regiment equipped with Abbot was the 3rd Royal Horse Artillery in 1965 (currently 1962) (it concerns also unit #198). Wikipedia says, that it was used until mid-1990s - they are still present in 1992 book Today's British Army in Colour.
Number of HE/HEAT ammo might concern also Indian Abbot (currently 38+2), but I have no information on it.
Btw, #400 Sexton: - correct pic is 25047
